All right, here's what's up. This post is meant to be dedicated to a movie of my choosing that is not very well known by any means, but was, I think, a fantastic film that you should not miss. I am considering how often I will try to post one of these. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to put them up monthly. And yes, you guessed it. To signify the fact that this is that kind of post, the font is in red. The first candidate is a very thought provoking film called The Lives of Others. It takes place in East Germany, right before the Cold War comes to a close. Here's how it goes.
The Good: the ending was my favorite thing about the film. To see the characters' reactions to everything that happens is VERY interesting. Another memorable moment is a joke that is told by a gentleman at lunch.
The Bad: the film is in subtitles because all of the dialogue is in German. If this automatically turns you off enough to know that you don't want to watch it, you're missing out. But I can understand that it's not what you wanted to hear.
The Ugly: It is rated R. There is one scene when a man is with a prostitute. But, I think that if you can handle those brief moments, it will be worth it.
I fully understand that you might be wondering why I have spoken so highly of this movie, yet not told you many specifics. And that's only because I want you to go see it. If you do, feel free to comment.
